Report Description:
To understand the nature of cooperation between the FBI and HSI fully, we
used a two-part methodology. First, in November 2017 we deployed an
anonymous online survey to all 2,948 FBI and HSI agents assigned to Southwest
border locations to gather their experiences and perceptions of cooperation. We
received 980 complete responses, a 33 percent response rate. The FBI’s response
rate was 23 percent (291 of 1,245), and HSI’s was 40 percent (689 of 1,703).
Second, we conducted interviews with 246 DOJ and DHS personnel, primarily from
the FBI, HSI, and U.S. Attorney’s Offices (USAO). We traveled to 10 Southwest
border locations to interview agents, Intelligence Analysts, and Assistant U.S.
Attorneys who prosecute FBI and HSI cases to gain a better understanding of the
reported problems
